Ten Reasons to Pray the Rosary

Motivation is the key to carrying out any worthy enterprise. Great men and great women have clear goals and strong motivations. They know what they want and they have a clear plan before their eyes.

For that reason Saint Augustine asserted:  “He who prays well lives well; he who lives well dies well; and he who dies well, all is well.”
